Virtual University: Models and Messages | Lessons from Case Studies

According to this publication, e-learning and the virtual university are examples of the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as a teaching and learning approach and an organisational structure. Both raise issues associated with the phenomenon of cross-border education.

Part of the Education on the Move series, the publication explores the related ICT policy, planning and management implications of several new or reorganised institutions of higher education. Three background chapters describe the context - the trends and challenges and the impact of cross-border education. Eight case studies from different regions and representing various institutional models tell the story of their development and relate what they have learned. Countries represented include: Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, India Malaysia, and Senegal.
